Baffled that, despite all of Lambo's statements & signings, people on here still suggest overpaid overaged underachieiving PL hacks. Forget Barry, Lescott or similar.

I doubt we will go for him, but I think it is a little harsh to label Gareth Barry an overpaid overaged underachieiving hack. 

Its very harsh.  Of course he's not overaged or underachieving.

I can see a case for bringing Barry back but I know Lambert won't do it anyway. It also sounds much better in my mind that it would prove in practice.

I don't think that's what people are suggesting. Nobody thinks we should sign Kevin Phillips and play him instead of Weimann, or drop Delph and put Barry in there.

There's a decent argument to be had that we could use a more experienced head in there from time to time. I thought that looked like something we missed - and sadly, Stan would have been the ideal candidate - particularly after that dreadful run over Christmas last year.

It looked to me like the effect of that 8-0, 4-0, 3-0 run lingered way, way after, and that the real damage wasn't in the zero points we took from those games, but in the weeks after when we still looked desperately short of confidence. Maybe a bit of a wiser head in there might have helped steady things, and be the bloke they looked to in the dressing room after a drubbing.

To extrapolate from that that people specifically want us to sign up wage spunking old hacks is unfair, because that's not what they're getting at.

We are signing more promising young players, which is great, but I do think there's a risk we're going to get carried away here. We still have a big job on, and the answer is almost certainly not always going to be young and hungry, it might turn out to be a mix.

I love this paulie, just love it!

A 30 plus experienced pro would be necessary for development of youth and its the premier league so have to be realistic that prem is a tough league and without experience can be a struggle! Barry would fit in middle and can play left back or in defence.

Nothing personal against Barry, but I don't want him back. Maybe we can just be friends and meet up for a coffee. No tongues

[Ozzjim]

I would much sooner have Milner as the experienced pro than Barry. In the style we play, Westwood does all that Barry does and more. He is not mobile enough for it.

I heard on the radio this morning that there is an Apostrophe Protection Society. They sound like a right bunch of wanker's.

as long as the apostrophe doesn't suffer I can't get too exited by the work's of the APS.

I fully support their cause.

Are you broadcasting in stereo tonight, villa kicks? I'm sure I've read that post before...
